Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond by Zondervan, Pdf

Is there biblical evidence for a thousand-year earthly kingdom (the Millennium) ruled by Christ before the fulfillment of the new heaven and new earth? Revelation chapter 20 seems to suggest so, but few books of the Bible are so difficult to interpret. And a discussion of the Millennium branches out into many other theological questions about the end times (eschatology): Are these the last days? What must happen before Jesus returns? What part does the church play? This Counterpoints volume compares three views of the Millennium: Premillennial: Christ will come again before this kingdom is established. Postmillennial: our present age represents that kingdom and that the church is and must move toward the fulfillment of this kingdom. Amillennial: a future Millennium is not a literal kingdom, and when Christ returns, he will usher in an immediate new heaven and new earth. Robert B. Strimple, Kenneth L. Gentry Jr., and Craig A. Blaising offer their perspectives, giving their exegetical reasoning. Each of them then responds to the views held by their peers in a respectful and informative setting, making it easy for you to compare their beliefs and gain a better understanding of how this aspect of Christianity's great hope--the return of Jesus--is understood by the church. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

The Millennium Heaven on Earth by James Richards Pdf

The title of this book is based on Bible prophecies in the Old and New Testaments. Daniel 7:13-14 and Isaiah 2:4 are two of the many prophecies in the Old Testament. In the New Testament in Matthew 6:10, Jesus taught his disciples to pray for God's will "to be done on earth as it is in heaven." In Revelation 20:4 states about the reign of JESUS CHRIST for a 1000 years THE MILLENNIUM. In Revelation 20:1-3, the scriptures say God is going to lock Satan, the devil, up for a thousand years. This is when the millennium will come to the planet Earth-Paradise Restored. From this verse, we get the word millennium, Latin for "one thousand," the kingly rule of God by Jesus and the resurrected saints, the kingdom of heaven on planet Earth. In the millennium, crime, sickness, pain, and suffering are gone. Poverty and corruption and even prisons and funeral homes will be eventually eliminated during this one thousand years (Rev. 21:4-5).

The Book of Signs by Dr. David Jeremiah Pdf

From one of the world’s most beloved Bible teachers comes a timely, compelling, and comprehensive biblical interpretation of Bible prophecy, the end times, and the apocalypse viewed through the lens of current world events. Many Christians struggle to understand the Book of Revelation. “The end times.” “The apocalypse.” “The day of judgment.” These terms are both fascinating and frightening – but what do they really mean? Drawing from decades of study, Dr. Jeremiah explains every key sign of the approaching apocalypse and what it means for you, including international, cultural, heavenly, tribulation, and end signs. With his engaging writing style and clear analysis of how current world events were foretold in the Bible, The Book of Signs is an encouraging guide to the Book of Revelation. In The Book of Signs, Dr. David Jeremiah offers answers to questions including: What does the Bible tell us about the future? How much can we understand about biblical prophecy and its application in our lives? What signs and signals will precede the end of everything as we know it? Which of those signs and signals have already come to pass, which are we experiencing now, and which are still to come? An epic and authoritative guide to biblical prophecy, The Book of Signs is a must-have resource for Christians seeking to navigate the uncertainties of the present and embrace God’s promises for the future with a renewed sense of hope and purpose.

Revelation by James M. Hamilton Jr. Pdf

In the book of Revelation, God unveils the world as it really is, identifying an unseen spiritual war and announcing a very real day of judgment. We need to be convinced that Jesus is reigning as the risen King. We need to have him speak to the situation in our churches. We need to see how God will pulverize wickedness, obliterate those who oppose him, and set up his kingdom. Revelation has exactly what we need. Useful for personal study, as well as for preaching and teaching (Hamilton even includes helpful charts and tables to highlight key themes and literary elements), the thirty-seven sermons in this volume have a clear structure: introduction, body, and conclusion. Hamilton successfully grabs the reader's attention, raises awareness of a real need, and states the main point of the sermon text. In addition to explaining the meaning of each passage, Hamilton connects the main ideas to applicable analogies and actionable points. Revelation is a prophecy of epic proportions and Hamilton invites readers to love God and his people by expositing this revelation of Jesus, and to say along with the apostle John, "Come, Lord Jesus." Part of the Preaching the Word series.

The Millennial Kingdom by John F. Walvoord Pdf

The Millennial Kingdom is a comprehensive biblical and historical treatment of the doctrine of the millennium written for the pastor, students, scholar, or layperson. The three leading millennial views -- postmillennialism, amillennialism, and premillennialism -- are presented in the context of their history, their theology, and their biblical interpretation. Dr. Walvoord presents postmillennialism first and then discusses amillennialism. However, the subject of premillenialism forms the main body of the work. The author introduces premillennialism with a survey of its historical background in the Old and New Testaments and in the history of the church. Its theological setting and methods of interpretation are discussed. A presentation of the character of the millennium concludes the volume.

The Golden Age by Arthur Pink,Luther Peak Pdf

The Millennium, or Kingdom Age, is that era in the future history of the world when the Lord Jesus shall receive from God the rule and government of the earth. This era is to last one thousand years. No less than six times in the first seven verses of Revelation 20 we find this expression "the thousand years." They are, of course, to be understood literally, as defining the duration of Christ's earthly reign. While it is true that Revelation 20 is the only Scripture which specifically mentions the thousand years, yet there are many passages, both in the Old and New Testaments, that set forth the character and describe the blessings of the Age to come. In fact so numerous are the Scriptures which treat of and bear upon the Coming Age that our chief difficulty is to classify them. It would seem that there are more passages dealing, directly and indirectly, with the next Dispensation than with any other separate subject or period treated of in God's Word.

The Millennium by Barrett Pickett Pdf

Dear Gentle Persons: Bible Prophecy describes a time of universal peace, unlimited prosperity, progress on a scale unimagined. My book title The Millennium describes this age in depth and character. Beginning with Chapter One, the author narrates the four essentials of the Kingdom of God, it's subjects, and the laws by which the least to the greatest will be subject to for one thousand years, under the magnificent reign of Jesus Christ and the saints who will co-rule with him. Each chapter paints a wider picture of a world ruled by a righteous government, of the social economic, and educational goals which will have top priority in the Kingdom, besides the call to eternal salvation of every man, woman, and child in that day.

The Spiritual Man (3) by Watchman Nee Pdf

For more than seventy years, The Spiritual Man, Watchman Nee's classic on spiritual growth, has helped believers advance in their pursuit of gaining Christ by showing them the way to let the Lord fully gain them. According to Nee, "The most frustrating experience of believers today is that in seeking for progress in the spiritual path, they do not find the proper way. As a result, they grope in darkness, being at times high or low, lingering around the crossroads year in and year out, and having no one to consult for direction. The author of this book was such a one. For this reason, the book emphasizes clear guidance on the proper path. Every chapter of this book is for the purpose of directing the believers on the right course. Therefore, all those who seek after God with an honest heart can go step by step accordingly. Almost every chapter begins from the position of the sinner and goes on step by step toward the peak of spiritual life." This electronic book is the third of three volumes.
